[00:12:43] well, playing a megacorp in stellaris isnt too bad [00:30:29] my lips are so dry [02:51:56] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:05:44] Yes, I made my first rendezvous and EVA at Earth :). Didn't have enough fuel for safe reentry, so had to aerobrake a few orbits first. [07:06:10] LH2 was boiling off meanwhile ... [07:09:23] to keep your cool :) [07:14:16] :) [07:15:00] KER calculates dv wrongly. [07:15:25] Had like 1300 m/s when it really was only 569. [07:17:59] most of the time it is correct [07:18:17] can be because of a mod [07:23:29] Maybe it was confused cause I had other engines on the same stage. I wouldn't know how to calculate that if they burn simultaneously. [07:24:10] https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Cheat_sheet#Combined_specific_impulse_.28Isp.29 [07:24:15] Had 2 1 kN thrusters for fine adjustments and ullage for the hydrolox engine. [07:25:03] so this becomes the combined isp [07:25:11] and then use the usualt delta v formula [07:26:07] Even when they don't burn the same length? [07:26:25] no, obviously it is when they burn at the same time [07:26:30] ok [07:26:38] after that you have to use the remaining engines [07:26:41] in the formula [07:26:42] mhm [07:27:37] starting with the remaining mass [07:27:48] yep [08:05:23] NSTAR Ion Thruster, 0.0 kN :) [08:06:35] Ahh, 0.0006 l/s Xe. That should give the trust. [08:09:18] kg/s*m/s, I guess. [08:57:40] Woah [08:57:47] Last message repeated 1 time(s). [08:57:47] Crew Dragon in February! [09:01:57] How do I configure the chutes?

[09:39:59] it should be [09:47:31] I nom, you nom, she noms, he noms, it noms, we nom, they nom [09:47:33] :D [09:50:40] easy with english, practically no inflection [09:59:24] Are there vacuum fluctuations or hot girls in space bars? [10:44:58] so that's where my Min impactor went https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap190125.html [11:02:22] space bar, the cheapest foode ever :) <-- is that more like a mars bar or a milky way bar? [11:02:33] dang, missed him [12:57:49] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/186186471202357249/538341594093453312/DSC_0383.JPG [12:58:12] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:59:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o BPlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:16:20] apparently the engine of that plane (the nieuport 23) was rotary so should I make the rc version rotary as well [13:42:07] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:06:50] I installed 1.3.1 with steam and replaced it with 1.6.1. Could steam get confused and mess it up? [14:08:35] I just want my saves safe. [14:08:45] Your saves can be easily exported [14:09:01] yeah, but it'll be used and change. [14:09:11] So back them up :-) [14:09:35] Hmm, I could move it away from the standard directory so steam doesn't see it. [14:09:43] Life lesson #1: Always back things up, because in due time, you will regret not having done it :P [14:09:49] yeah [14:09:51] :) [14:11:46] I kinda want to make this prop [14:11:48] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/186186669324500993/538360146771050497/trumpet_pistol.jpg [14:12:17] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/466808269789200387/538357487179399169/image0.png [14:19:29] I keep a "stock" copy in my steam dir, then copy it out to a folder KSP_X.Y.Z for actual gaming [14:19:57] only way to keep older versions alive and well when updates come out :) [14:30:41] I keep GameData and saves in a git repository [14:31:17] (for easier syncing between computers) [17:41:55] Althego im watching a conference of a Romanian space dweller, Dorin Prunariu [17:42:08] quite interesting, dude got a very good french [17:42:13] who is that [17:42:34] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumitru_Prunariu [17:43:25] another front where romanians beat us. they had two cosmonauts, while we had one [17:48:19] heh [18:28:34] hmm, flat earth is harmful? https://twitter.com/DJSnM/status/1088865059290271744 [18:28:34] Thanks @youtube for committing to reducing recommendations to harmful misinformation. Î https://t.co/iXo8a1nEJD https://t.co/sa45hotSd3 [18:30:32] it is [18:31:14] the problem with this, that what is harmful is judged by them. so it will be necessarily wrong [18:33:45] the problem with this is that it's going to be an "algorithm", that will only look for correlations, not causality, so it'll always end up being wrong [18:34:45] it is like if you make a video about terrorists, condemning them, the video is demonetized because it is related to terrorism [18:35:06] yes, something like that [18:50:20] I really should design a 3d printed jet engine [18:50:33] I guess a low bypass one could have enough cooling [18:50:50] for 5 seconds [18:50:56] yeah [18:51:17] but you could maaybe make a 3d printed stirling engine [18:51:50] well, I guess the combustion chamber and everything after that would need to be made out of something heat resistant [18:52:09] but maybe it could work using film cooling, injectig fresh air around the chamber [18:52:16] but the radiated heat would still melt it [18:52:33] PLA softens at like 60°c [18:52:40] not really turbofan material [18:52:41] have to go big. 3d print from metal [18:52:44] exept for the cold parts [18:53:01] o you can 3d print molds and cast it [18:53:03] well I will have to start saving up for one of those 100k ¬ printers then [18:53:20] well I would rather have laser cut metal parts and glue them together [18:53:33] or refractory cement for the chamber but it would be heavy [18:58:54] 3D printers are coming down in price, I would wait. [18:59:00] I want one but.... [18:59:08] metal ones? [18:59:16] Oh metal ones. [18:59:21] Lol nevermind [18:59:34] good ol extrusion plastic printers are already pretty cheap if you are willing to mod them a bit to be good [19:28:33] my wintergatan tshirt shipped [19:29:17] now Martin can buy a bag of screws with the money I threw to him [19:29:22] or maybe another tap to break [19:35:48] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:52:27] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP4_upxrV0g - One of my hobbies...found the drive at a thrift store for 5 bucks. I NEVER see an old computer or laptop or whatever there though....wish I did I would snap it up. [19:53:59] earphones warning [19:54:26] What is that crap before it acthually loads? and oooh I forgot about that thanks Althe [19:54:58] bell characters probably [19:55:04] in random memory junk [19:55:24] which shows either data corruption or hardware issue [20:14:50] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z74mu1qtq0o [20:14:50] YouTube - Jet Bike - Modelpark Suché 2018 [20:15:23] why not drive a turboshaft with that [20:15:23] lol the cola bottles as fuel tank [20:15:28] much more efficient [20:15:39] but I approve of that fuel tank [20:16:10] because for that you need to have a coupling turbine and a lot of reduction gear [20:16:23] yeah but you can buy those [20:16:32] they are mode to just bolt on the end of the turbine [20:23:25] temporary deal to end government shutdown. maybe spacex can launch in febryrary with the crew dragon [20:24:34] they better hurry up. the rocket has already been there for a while [20:27:31] you know one of my pet peeves... when you realize your space plane needs more Ox but the only replaceable Lf tank is somewhere beneath carefully adjusted wings [20:27:58] if only there was Ox only tanks [20:28:08] I wanted that for quite a while actually [20:28:21] which would be easy to do by using the existing tanks [20:28:26] there is a mod for this [20:28:29] but the devs spend more time making new skins than actually updating the game [20:28:46] and they didnt even do anything this year [20:29:02] at least they never updated us on the progress like before [20:29:19] yeah, changing tank type shouldn't really be that much of a hassle since I've seen it done in mods and reskins are basically that anyway [20:29:44] making new skins for parts and DLC crap is more important [20:29:55] are the new engines purely visual, though? i always thought KSP takes the actual model and calculates some sort of an aero model of it [20:30:06] remember the big update back in the days, when we waited for them and stuff [20:30:11] that was nice [20:30:12] aye [20:30:25] what new engines? [20:30:29] the reskins [20:30:41] they have the same properties [20:30:42] some of them have shrouds and some are just truss thingies [20:30:59] the pedant in me would sey they should have different flight characteristics [20:31:00] as engines. as parts they may have updated drag, but i didnt check them [20:31:23] yeah that's what i was trying to ask :) sorry wasn't clear on that [20:33:15] maybe i'll just try to build a new plane completely... easier than moving all the vents and wings around [20:34:16] anyway base ksp doesnt calculate real drag or lift, they come from some properties given in the parts [20:34:46] but far tries to do that [20:35:09] https://i.redd.it/mce1tupqocc21.png [20:37:56] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O66BY2O_1O8 [20:37:57] YouTube - Real Mars Rover Engineer Builds A Mars Rover In Kerbal Space Program " Pro Play [20:44:23] https://imgur.com/JejTqfe [20:44:23] https://i.imgur.com/JejTqfe.png [20:44:43] looks a bit like a blackbird [20:44:52] lol that nose with the geat [20:45:07] i would usually hide the landing gear inside the body [20:45:23] probably has center of mass movement issues [20:45:29] just as the blackbird [20:46:00] https://imgur.com/eUyOkTL it's a sort of a ventureStar thingy [20:46:00] https://i.imgur.com/eUyOkTL.png [20:46:12] hence the clipped engines [20:47:13] i tried to adjust the fuel levels to reflect the amount of clipping but it seems that i have lost that version of the plane. surprisingly CoM doesn't move much at all. it actually shifts a little front to help with re-entry balance [21:19:34] man, growing new planets is a pain with machine empires... you have no real growth until you get more population on it, and you have to handle migration manually [21:19:51] stellaris? [21:21:51] yes [21:23:09] you have 1 replicator job on the colony building, second you can build with a facility at pop 5, a third with the upgraded colony building at pop 10 [21:23:46] (and then another one at pop 40 and 80, i believe) [21:24:17] biological growth is much faster [21:50:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:08:17] https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1088917455248838656 oaaaaahhhh, I want, I want [22:08:17] <SpaceX> View of Launch Complex 39A and Crew Dragon from the crew access arm https://t.co/PJIV5lIcnh [22:54:33] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
